NORCO  (ACETAMINOPHEN; HYDROCODONE BITARTRATE):  This combination medication is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains an opioid (narcotic) pain reliever (hydrocodone) and a non-opioid pain reliever (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever. This product is not recommended for use in children younger than 6 years due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as slow/shallow breathing).   FDA Approval Date: 1997-02-14 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Back injury One hour into taking a half of one and I started to get sweaty, rapid heart beat, and full of severe anxiety. I thought I was going to die! This stuff will make you experience death without dying. It was my hell on earth for 2-3 hours. Trouble breathing and terrible brain fog. I thought i was having a heart attack. I take ibuprofen now instead of this garbage. M 39 1 days

 3  Back muscle spasm pain Dry mouth, constipation, loopy fuzzy feeling, tiredness, nausea when starting for a few days. This is prescribed by my GP along with diazapam during a back episode to help recovery allow exercises to commence. If the back muscle pain is a 10, then this makes it a 7 or 8. Thats not much of a reduction, but during an episode, its well appreciated. The problem is that increasing the dosage or trying oxycodone results in severe side-effects negating the desired therapeutic pain relief. This is a good as is gets for me and It would be nice if pain medications in the future offer pain relief without those side-effects. M 35 8 days

 1  I was in an accident HEART PALPITATIONS, ANXIETY, HEAVY EYES, PAINS IN ARMS & LEGS, STOMACHE UPSET, Do not put this junk in your body, if i didnt know better I would think the government is poisoning us. My mom gave me one of her yellow norco and I promise you people reading this that IP 110 is not norco. I felt much better after taking my moms & do know that its the pharmaceutical company not the REAL medication itself, i was 1 minute away from calling 911, Stay away from these pills!! I wish I knew how to post a link but you can read all about this company, active & inactive ingredients on their web site.I plan on researching further in hopes someone doesnt loose their lives to this poison. If youve experienced these horrible mental & physical side effects report them to the fda, pharmacy, & keep posting.... F 42 2 days

 5  Possible blown disc Nauseous/out of it/overload of energy/insomnia/itchy Back in 2002 my cervical disc shattered and severed my spine, there was actual blood shown on my MRI. Had surgery that week. Went back in 2008 and MRI showed two bulging cervical disc one above my plate and one below. Was treated for the pain and the pain went away. Recently for about two months I have been experiencing the same pain as in 2002... Appointment for MRI and meds given also appointment to see my neurosurgeon to see what is going on. OK back to the pain medicine, I am pleased with the pain relief, for me is lasting about four hours and actually trying to avoid them cause they are making me ill and wired out. I don't think anyone would be able to drive on this medicine, well I know I will not be.... First time on them but also taking a muscle relaxer with them three times a day, so could be adding to my blah feeling. I am hoping to get my problem sorted out quick for I don't do well on medication. Good luck to any one with pain and on this medicine. F 45 2 days

 1  Disc Degenerative disease. Fluid retention. Weight gain from the fluid retention. This medicine did nothing for my chronic back pain. Physician's don't want to prescribe anything stronger, because of all the drug addicts, that ruined it for the people who don't abuse it. I had been on all medicines since 1998, with Methadone working the best. M 46 14 days

 1  shoulder surgery Head flushed. Opiods/opiates increase pain when taken for chronic pain. You're 37 and can't brush your hair? You're an addict. Wake up and take control of your life. Stop making excuses and get off the shit. Stop being pathetic. Pain meds increase pain every time they wear off. They are addictive, change brain chemistry and people become helpless pathetic whine asses. Grow up, there's nothing wrong with pain. Everyone just wants to feel good. Bunch of whossies. M 49 2 days

 3  Back Injury - work related Mild euphoria, followed by dysphoria when the medication wears off; Sweating; other than that, nothing unusual. I'm a registered nurse. I have constant back pain while working. I also deal with the Norco and Dilaudid addicts that come in the ER malingering and seeking pain medications. I read through some of the "side effects" people claim to experience with Norco, but they sound more like withdrawal effects from abuse of the drug. Some of these "side effects" are utterly ridiculous. M 42 30 days

 3  Herniated cervical disc problems Dizziness if too much is taken. It takes the edge off the pain. I had cervical fusion c4-5 now need more surgery. Dependance if I don't take it I experience withdrawal symptoms like extreme yellow diarrhea, headaches, anxiety and pain Unfortunately I couldn't work without it and given my age doctors don't want to prescribe it. Especially now that it is schedule 2. I tried switching to Tylenol 4 and had to take 1.5 to 2 which did take the edge off the pain but made me very sleepy and itchy. F 27 3 years

 4  Back/neck injury The comments here saved me!! PLEASE READ!!! IF YOU ARE HAVING BAD SIDE EFFECTS AND ARE TAKING THE WHITE OBLONG IP-110 GENERIC NORCO PILLS THEN STOP AND DEMAND THE YELLOW PILL!! In Nov 2014 my pain management doctor changed my script from 7.5 Vicodin (no probs for years) to Norco 10/325 along with upping my Oxycontin to 20mg. Almost immediately I felt horrible with the Norco which was strange as it is just a stronger dose of hydrocodone than the vicodin I have been taking for so long. It kinda (didnt really) worked when i used my remaining Vicodin in the am and norco later in the day but when I ran out of Vicodin.....IT WAS HORRIBLE! I even tried cutting the pills and making them 7.5 but THE HEADACHES, NAUSEA, DIZZYNESS, LEG PAIN AND FEELING OF BEING A PIECE OF CRAP WOULD NOT GO AWAY. I basically spent Christmas in my dark room in bed ans was no company not even to play with my 4 yr old which was devastating. But......THERE IS HOPE!!! The Saturday after Xmas I went online, punched in Norco+my side effects and found THIS BEAUTIFUL WEBSITE! So many ppl had the same issues and one of the most frequent recurring posts was that ppl who had been prescribed THE WHITE OBLONG IP 110 PILLS HAD ALL THESE HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS!!! Many ppl URGED DO NOT TAKE NORCO WHITE OBLONG IP 110 PILLS BUT ASK FOR THE YELLOW PILL INSTEAD! How can the color make a difference?? ITS THE COMPANY MAKING THEM AND PUTTING IN LOW QUALITY/DANGEROUS FILLERS COMPARED TO THE FILLERS USED BY HIGHER QUALITY PHARMACUTICAL COMPANIES! I WENT STRAIGHT TO MY PHARMACIST ON MY LUNCH BREAK AND FILLED MY NEW SCRIPT WITH YELLOW ‘V‘ (Qualitest 36-01) NORCO PILLS. THE DIFFERENCE IS NIGH M 34 2 months
